DailyDirt: I'd Like My Drink Sonicated, Not Stirred...

Chemists routinely use equipment like rotary evaporators, centrifuges, and ultrasonicators to extract, separate, and mix various chemicals in the lab. But, the same equipment can also be used to prepare unique and tasty drinks. Why settle for ordinary? Classic beverages are getting a makeover thanks to the creative use of modern technology. Here are a few examples.

I like the coke machine, tho

I found one at a restaurant in Ft Lauderdale (Pei-Wei Diner). It was great! 20 different flavors of Diet Coke, all on hand. Is is such a bad thing that they can recall a flavor if there is trouble...

It increases choice and value. It actually shows a lot of innovation on their part. Ir can also let them know what flavors to market in supermarkets, as it acts as a survey machine, telling them what people buy.

When I was a kid (a few decades ago), we would mix together all the drinks from the self-serve fountain at the roller rink. It was called a "suicide." I can't believe the combination of Sunkist, Nehi, Country-Time, Coca-Cola, and Tab never caught on.
